Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, MichaelVadon!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Your own sub-category

Hi Michael, since you have added over 800 images to Wikimedia Commons, I created you your own category, so all you have to do is to add Category:Photographs by Michael Vadon to every image you add to wikimedia. It has the benefit of keeping all your images organised in one category..and thanks for adding your awesome High quality images to Wikimedia Commons :)--Stemoc 16:37, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Bush cat

Michael, when you upload images, please use the category "Jeb Bush in 2015" instead of "Jeb Bush". Would you do that please? Thanks.Anythingyouwant (talk) 16:31, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello? Would you do this please? According to official policy of Wikimedia Commons, all images "should be put in the most specific category/categories that fit(s) the page (not directly to its parent categories)." Therefore, if an image of Jeb Bush is from 2015, please do not put it into the top-level "Jeb Bush"!category, and instead put it into the sub-category "Jeb Bush in 2015". Please do not put it in both, which defeats the purpose of categorization and requires other editors to spend a great deal of time fixing. Thanks very much.Anythingyouwant (talk) 06:25, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Photos!

I love your photos, they are of great quality, and good composition. They really enrich the Wikipedia world with the 2016 election. It would, however, be nice if you gave images titles which aren't quite so long. Titling with your name in the filename could be considered self-promotion, and I wouldn't like to see you in trouble. Maybe a title like "Gov. Scott Walker in Amherst NH (1234)" and put a serial number in the parenthesis. That would make editing articles easier, and avoid any future trouble. Thanks!

CPAC

I notice the Steve Bannon/Reince Preibus CPAC images have the wrong date in the title. They were taken on the 23rd, not the 24th. MB298 (talk) 02:52, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, how do I edit the title? I looked and I cant find an edit button...Thanks...MichaelVadon (talk)

File tagging File:Donald Trump Portrait.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Donald Trump Portrait.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Donald Trump Portrait.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
